Giving of Ourselves
"You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give."
~Kahlil Gibran~
When a charity asks for our help, it's easy to write a check. When a friend is ill, it's easy to send a card or gift.
But it would mean a lot more - to the charity and to our friend - if we gave of ourselves instead of our money. It would also mean a lot more to us. We waste so much time in meaningless activities: watching television, gossiping, fretting about things we can't change. If we could devote just part of this time to helping others, we'd all be better off.
I tell myself I"m too busy to volunteer or to volunteer more than I do. But if I look at my schedule carefully, I can find the time.
My thoughts: Get out there and help someone! It truly is helpful to people to have someone there to rely on and help them, even if it's just for one day. Being a volunteer in any community is worthwhile. It'll make you feel better, too, not just the other person! Have an amazing day, my friends! Stay positive !! :D
